Soil Tensiometer

About Soil Tensiometer

A Soil Tensiometer is a precision soil moisture measuring instrument used to determine the soil water tension or soil moisture availability to plants. It is widely used in agriculture, horticulture, irrigation management, and research applications to optimize water usage and improve crop yield.

The instrument works by measuring the tension (vacuum) with which water is held in the soil, helping farmers and agronomists decide the right time for irrigation. It consists of a water-filled tube, porous ceramic tip, and vacuum gauge, ensuring accurate and reliable readings in field conditions.

Made from high-quality transparent acrylic or PVC body with durable ceramic cup, the soil tensiometer is designed for long-lasting field use and easy installation. It provides real-time soil moisture status, helping prevent over-irrigation and under-irrigation.
